Cathy Brett has been scribbling stuff for more than twenty years – as a fashion illustrator, as a jet-setting spotter of global trends and as a consultant to the behemoths of the British high street. Her ideas, design visuals and characters have appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, in department store windows, on glossy cosmetics counters and even on beach towels.
Cathy has a firm finger on the pulse of all that is fresh and funky and her illustrations and stories are always super cool. She lectures in design and unashamedly plunders her students’ lives for sensational storylines and characters.
